Code Review

This pull request updates SnakeYAML from version 2.4 to 2.5. It's important to be aware that SnakeYAML has a critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability (CVE-2022-1471) when parsing YAML from untrusted sources using the default new Yaml() constructor. This project currently uses this unsafe constructor in airframe-config/src/main/scala/wvlet/airframe/config/YamlReader.scala. Before merging this update, it is highly recommended to refactor these usages to new Yaml(new SafeConstructor()) to mitigate the security risk. I have added a detailed comment on the version change in build.sbt.

critical

While updating dependencies is good practice, it's crucial to address a security vulnerability related to SnakeYAML. Versions up to and including the one in this PR are susceptible to a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2022-1471) when parsing untrusted YAML data using the default new Yaml() constructor.

To mitigate this, you must use a safe constructor, for example: new Yaml(new SafeConstructor()).

The current codebase has several places that need to be updated. For instance, in airframe-config/src/main/scala/wvlet/airframe/config/YamlReader.scala, the new Yaml() calls on lines 51, 59, and 68 are unsafe and should be changed.

Example of a required change in YamlReader.scala:

import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.constructor.SafeConstructor

// ...

def loadYaml(resourcePath: String): Map[AnyRef, AnyRef] = {
  new Yaml(new SafeConstructor()) // Use SafeConstructor
    .load(readAsString(resourcePath))
    .asInstanceOf[ju.Map[AnyRef, AnyRef]]
    .asScala
    .toMap
}

This is a critical security issue that should be addressed. This dependency update is a good opportunity to fix it.
